OM DETTA AVSNITT
Austin Carr posted one video to help a friend. Ten comments later he realized there were gaps in knowledge across the trades that nobody was filling. That was the start of America's Favorite Lineman.
Today Austin is a journeyman lineman in Florida, a lineman rodeo competitor, and one of the most trusted voices in the trades. In this episode he and Kevin Rindal break down the real blueprint for lineman fitness and recovery, hydration in extreme heat, nutrition for physical labor when options are limited, how to decompress after a hard shift, and why lineman mental health is part of being a good brother.
